Works=work for Christ (servant ministry)
I can not count how many times I have heard that works won’t get you to heaven. I question then why did Jesus put so much effort into telling you to do works? To cause us to walk in righteous living while in this world! I’ll write about this from time to time because I [...]

MARY
Once again Christmastide comes on the scene, and once again Mary’s great speech will be overlooked by many churches. I see it as Mary being prophetic.
Luke 1:46-55, “The Magnificat of Mary”, starts with her Praising God, her rejoicing in her savior. God took notice in her, a lowly village teenager, a nobody [...]
Revere The Lord
I lost my Father and my Brother-in-Law John in the same year. The one thing I miss is the great way these two fine men loved God. My dad was a mathematician and a chemical engineer, while John was a biologist. Both of them had I.Q.s off the charts. They could [...]

Arcshrk introduced me to the ESV Bible. It is his favorite translation and if you hit the verse text as you read my stuff, you can read that word for word translation. When I wrote most of my stuff originally, that translation was not available. As far as I am concerned, I [...]

And being found in the appearance as [...]

While reading Malachi this week I made a couple observations I want to share. Although they are not directly connected with the message of the prophet, they do reflect on my views of Wholeness Witnessing.
Malachi 1:10, 11. “I wish that some among you would shut the Temple doors so that these worthless sacrifices [...]
Extra-demoninational works
While I was with the United Methodist Church, I took part in many outreach programs. Most of these programs where started by the UMC but not limited to their church. This gave me the opportunity to see the work of God through others. While I left that church because I was not pleased [...]

I was born and raised in a Roman Catholic family, but as I reached adulthood I was torn by the knowledge that throughout history, christians constantly warred against each other. Because of this I felt that Jesus had failed in His call and therefore could not be the savior that we sought.
It took me sixteen [...]
